“Good physicians know that medical care is best when doctors and patients form a partnership. I have known Dr. Barbara Roberts for 30 years. She is a superb cardiologist, and her new book, describing what patients need to know about their cardiac medicines, reflects that clinical knowledge. This book contains the information patients need to form effective partnerships with their doctors. Both patients and their doctors will benefit - patients because they will be empowered to ask prudent questions; their doctors because they will be dealing with patients who understand both the occasional risk and the expected benefit of their medications. This book is useful and should be on all my patients bookshelves.”

“Thank you, Dr. Roberts, for empowering people with heart-disease and their caretakers through knowledge. By educating all of us on the medicines prescribed for heart and vascular disease, you are equipping us with the resources to understand these pivotal drugs and their impact. Your book will spark more conversations with patients and their health care providers, and, ultimately, enable to them to better maintain their health and prevent heart disease.”

“Everything you wanted to know about your heart medicines but didn't know how to ask'-- that's the best way to describe this outstanding, easy to understand consumer manual written with sense and sensibility. The book offers great information for all heart patients and Dr. Roberts has done yet another outstanding job at putting forth a terrific resource book for the family health library shelf.”
